Pamelia Lake

 On Thursday we took a 4 mile family hike up to Pamelia Lake and back. I wore Maggie in the front pack and AJ carried Porter in the back pack.

 But somebody has to carry some water and diapers too! So I had a pack on my back as well.

 It was a perfect day and the forest was beautiful.

 Our family. Maggie would follow AJ from the camera after he set the timer so we never could get her to look at the camera!

 We found some patches of snow!

 And the lake. Porter loved throwing rocks and twigs in to the lake.

 The beautiful lake.

 This was Maggie's spot to wiggle and move around while we ate lunch. She promptly grabbed a large handful of dirt and pine needles after laying her down and then tried to shove her hand in her mouth. Silly girl!

 This was also a great place for a diaper change for both the kids!

 Porter wore his only shoes that fit him and they are sandal like and I hate socks with sandals but it was just a little too chilly not to have socks on. Such a true Pacific Northwestener. Socks and sandals!

 Porter also loves walking with the trekking poles. He actually walked quite a bit on his own out of the pack. This was a great hike for him as no steep drop offs or intense hills.

 My loves!
